Comfort food is the catchphrase at this latest entry to the increasingly vibrant Mesui street, now a viable alternative to Changkat Bukit Bintang's chaotic nightlife.
The menu is compact: Table 23's five starters range from this pear & pickled fennel salad (RM17+, blessed with a lovely crunch from rocket leaves & spiced cashews) to potted shrimp with grape chutney & pumpkin soup with truffle oil.
Pork belly, in the form of confit & crackling (RM43+), with beetroot puree, sauteed asparagus & potato fondant. Flavorful, though the sodium content seems to soar.
Beef cheek with bacon, parmentier potatoes, cherry tomatoes & zucchini (RM62++). The menu describes this as a must-try; it's hearty, but the sauce might feel cloyingly overpowering. Still, that's a matter of personal preference.
Desserts are enticing, from apple strudel with vanilla ice cream & salted vanilla cream (15+) ..
... to a can't-fail, creamy-rich brandy-infused chocolate torte with berries (RM18+) ...
. to a house-made carrot cake with gula melaka (RM14+) that's probably worth the calories.
Not a bad wine list, with six by the glass, all below RM30 before taxes.
